Sheffield City Council is launching a new project, Connecting Sheffield,
which will focus on encouraging active travel and supporting the shift
towards sustainable transport in and around the city.
Connecting Sheffield will encompass a range of transport schemes focused
on delivering change for the city’s walking, cycling and public
transport infrastructure.
The new scheme follows a successful bid made by Sheffield City Region,
supported by Sheffield City Council, for funding from the Department for
Transport’s Transforming Cities Fund. Sheffield will receive £50m which
will be used to improve public transport, walking and cycling links to
encourage people to leave their car at home.
The funding will deliver the first major step in the Council’s vision to
transform travel in Sheffield and make it possible for more people to
choose walking, cycling and public transport first. The reduction in a
reliance on car journeys, is a priority for the city’s future, not only
to help ease congestion but to help address climate change and improve
air quality in Sheffield. Future funding will support further schemes
brought forward in subsequent phases.
Lower traffic levels have been seen during the pandemic as people have
taken to walking and cycling on more journeys. It is hoped that this
continues, as changes to travel infrastructure are prioritised.
The first phase of the project will focus on key areas that have been
identified as locations where people are making short car journeys from
home to work in the city centre and Lower Don Valley, including
Neepsend, Kelham and Nether Edge. The proposed schemes will enable these
to be made more safely by cycling, especially for shorter trips, and
more quickly and reliably by bus.
The Transforming Cities Fund will focus on improving travel links
through the following schemes:
* Across the city centre
* Neepsend & Kelham to the city centre
* Nether Edge to the city centre
* Magna to Tinsley
* The city centre to Attercliffe and Darnall
* On Abbeydale Road and Ecclesall Road
More information on the individual schemes can be found on the
Connecting Sheffield website, at bit.ly/ConnectingSheffield.
<https://connectingsheffield.commonplace.is/>
All of the proposed schemes will be subject to public consultation, and
the feedback received will help to inform the development of the routes
identified. Under the current terms of the funding from the Department
for Transport, all work must be completed by March 2023.
*Councillor Bob Johnson, Cabinet Member for Transport and Development at
Sheffield City Council, said:*
“Connecting Sheffield is a major first step in overhauling our transport
network to put walking, cycling and public transport at the forefront of
travel choices available in our city.
“We know that for lots of people, travelling by car is sometimes the
only feasible way of getting from A to B, but we want to make sure that
walking, cycling and public transport are realistic options, especially
for getting to work and for shorter journeys.
“It is disappointing that we did not receive our full bid for funding
from the Government. Equally, we could never deliver everything we want
to in this first phase. Other schemes will come in later phases.
However, these projects still represent a major first step in developing
our plans to create a more inclusive and diverse travel network that
over time will transform how people move around Sheffield.
“Throughout the Covid-19 pandemic we have seen an increase in walking
and cycling as people have taken the time to get outdoors and explore
both their local communities and our wonderful parks and countryside,
and we hope to make it possible for more people to continue to do this.
“Despite current restrictions, bus services will also remain a crucial
part of our transport infrastructure into the future, helping thousands
of people to get about. Although improving travel infrastructure may not
seem like a priority right now, this work is vitally important in making
sure our transport system is fit for purpose so that people can get to
work, access services and visit family and friends now and in the future.
We know we have a long way to go to get where we need to be, but we are
excited to be able to make a start.”
*Dame Sarah Storey, Sheffield City Region Active Travel Commissioner, said:*
“I am delighted to see Sheffield launch Connecting Sheffield which
will deliver their active travel plans over the coming years. We have
been working closely with Sheffield City Council to enable their
ambitions for walking and cycling to become a reality. Back in July our
new infrastructure standards were adopted at the MCA and since then
there has been some impressive work going on to deliver suitable schemes
that will offer active travel alternatives for short journeys within
Sheffield."
*Dan Jarvis, Mayor of the Sheffield City Region, said:*
“The Transforming Cities Fund will help to achieve our ambition of a
transport system for South Yorkshire that is fit for the 21st century.
“By enabling walking and cycling, and improving public transport, these
Connecting Sheffield schemes will reduce congestion, improve air quality
and allow people to live more active lives, which will improve their
mental and physical health.
“Revolutionising how we travel to include modes which are beneficial to
the health of both the planet and our people is vital as we develop a
stronger, greener and fairer economy and society for South Yorkshire.”
*Martin McKervey, Chair of the Sheffield Property Association said:*
“Our cities are evolving. Both investors and people living and working
in cities are increasingly looking for quality of life, a city that’s
easier to get around and people friendly, with a cleaner environment.
Sheffield is ideally placed to deliver on this but it needs the right
infrastructure in place. That’s why we wholeheartedly support this new
vision for Connecting Sheffield and look forward to hearing more about
the detailed proposals.”
